How to remove semicolons in prettier?

Question

I am using the VS Code prettier plugin to format my code, how can I add a setting to not add or remove semicolons when I format my code? I know that this feature was added in January but I found no mention in the PR or issue of how to add it to settings.

From the readme:

prettier.semi (default: true)

Whether to add a semicolon at the end of every line (semi: true), or only at the beginning of lines that may introduce ASI failures (semi: false)

You have to set prettier.semi to false.

To change prettier settings see,

Like all other vscode settings

note: These settings are prefixed with prettier.

Open settings.json file*.

Add this lines to format your code on save and to remove semicolons on save:

    "editor.formatOnSave": true,

    "prettier.semi": false,

Use Ctrl+P to search for file in Vs Code.*

Doesn't work, but the built-in formatter works with `"javascript.format.semicolons": "remove"` – Filip Seman Aug 16 '22 at 10:56

In your Prettier settings. Add the following

semi: false

If you want to format your file using CLI, then

prettier --write --no-semi your_file
